    Ursa Minor Camper Shell for JT Gladiator

    I ended going with the Alu Cab Canopy Camper and I am happy with how it has turned out.

    Ursa Minor J30 Wrangler vs Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Gladiator?

    Having done both before, with two people you will be happier with the Gladiator/Alu Cab Canopy Camper, if by yourself, the Wrangler set up is just fine. The space in the Wrangler really is an issue with two adults, not to mention getting up in the middle of the night to do your "business" with...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Both my vehicles in their natural environments. If you couldn't tell, I am a Jeep fan.

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    Next On pavement, yeah it is more reliable, lots of time off pavement, that is a horse of a different color. Give me a Jeep for offroad reliability over a Toyota every day of the week and twice on Sunday. They are just not anywhere as "beefy" as a Jeep leading to a higher rate of offroad...

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    Yeah, the Centerforce Clutch upgrade is great for a standard transmission Jeep of any model. Regearing is also what you want to do, especially as heavy as we load our vehicles.

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    The history I have seen is that if you never leave the pavement Toyotas are more reliable, but once you start putting them offroad they have more that breaks simply due to the fact they are not as beefy as Jeeps. I have seen more Toyotas on the side of trails with issues than Jeeps, even in...

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    There are a number fixes for this. I put the Genesis Dual Battery system in mine and did away with the battery issue. You can bypass the auto stop/start also.

    Alu-Cab conversions for JKUs.

    That is a heck of a build. I wish I could understand what they were saying. That is along the lines of what I was thinking about, but a little bit too much with regards to the inside of the cab.

    Alu-Cab conversions for JKUs.

    Here are some photos of a JLU with an Alu-Cab RTT that was similar to the Ursa Minor replacement top that I ran across on social media. It basically was an Alu-Cab RTT mounted directly to the hardtop of a Wrangler that you could enter and exit from within the Jeep. It looked like the freedom...

    The Oversleeper

    Can you link the batteries to jump start your starter battery if it dies for whatever reason? I am also wondering how the ambient heat in a vehicle will impact the lithium battery when you are parked for a day or two and the vehicle heats to the extent that the lithium battery is impacted. Do...

    The Oversleeper

    Thanks for clearing that up for me, because I was a little miffed by what I was seeing on You-Tube and online plus what I was being told by Genesis. Once again I am not an electronics whiz and pretty much have to rely upon what I am finding on the internet for my ad hoc education on the issue.
